RE: Application #: bld20080598
Project: Unocal Pier Removal
Project Address: 700 Admiral Way
Comments numbered 1-12 below were provided to Kynan Patterson of WSF in a meeting with the
City on June 25, 2008. It does not appear as though these comments were addressed with the demo
permit submittal. Additional notes have been provided under each comment to help clarify what
needs to be addressed.
Please note that due to the incomplete submittal additional comments may arise during review of
future plan submittals.
Redline plans and/or submit three (3) sets of revised plans/documents with a written response to
each of the items below to Marie Harrison.
1.When project will begin and estimated end date.
Please provide project timeline.
o
2.Overall work plan and schedule.
Please submit a project manual, if one is available.
o
Clearly indicate process for pier and pile removal. It is understood that some of the
o
operations will take place on land and some of the operations will require the use of a barge.
How will the work plan be adjusted during different tide levels?
o
3.Notification of pier removal project to concerned City Staff, US Coast Guard, Port of Edmonds
and the public. Newspapers should also be informed of this project. Information signs at park
to inform public of pier removal project.
The applicant will be required to inform the public of the proposed project. Please submit
o
sample newspaper and sign language to the City for review and approval.

Please confirm the US Coast Guard and the Port have received proper notification and
o
WSDOT has received appropriate approvals.
4.Permit issues which WSDOT seems to have already began.
Provide a list of required permits and the status of each.
o
5.Pier must continue to be illuminated during night hours for the safety of commercial shipping
and pleasure boats.
Provide a plan that addresses pier illumination throughout the course of the project. At the
o
start of the project the City will be terminating power feed at the breaker box. How will the
pier be illuminated without the existing power source? At a later phase some of the piles
will be at or below surface water level. Illumination will still be required during this time as
the area will continue to be hazardous to marine vessels. How will illumination be
provided?
6.Marina Beach Park and Off Leash Park will remain open during project.
Park may be closed for short durations. Please refer to comment #19 General Notes.
o
7.Marina Beach park access and staging areas. It sounds like from past meetings that entire south
parking lot will be closed to public parking for contractor staging area. This may also include
portions of Off Leash Park when needed.
Refer to comment #22 below.
o
8.Discuss vehicle and pedestrian access into park while project is underway.
Refer to comment #21 & 22 below.
o
9.Installation of security fence around entire project that will include securing area off during low
tides while pier removal work is being performed to protect the public.
Security fence has been shown, but location of fence during low tides has not been
o
addressed.
10.The rock pile that is presently under pier at shoreline should remain to protect this portion of
shoreline from eroding. I suggest consulting with a Marine Shoreline specialist in determining
the best course of action in protecting park property.
Show pier armor on the plans and add a note that the armor shall not be disturbed.
o
11.When pier removal is completed contractor shall install approximately 350 feet of chain link
fence where present south fence is located. Chain link fence shall be six foot tall with 2 inch sch
40 galvanized posts placed at ten feet on center. Knuckle top fence with 9 gauge chain link
fabric and wire tension cable placed at bottom of fence. Replacement entrance gates may have
to be installed due to project demolition and work activity.
Fence shall be black vinyl coated.
o
Refer to comment # 23 below. Restoration plan.
